Phys.org / Patrolling males and waiting females—observing reproductive behavior of black sea bream in the wild
Ultrasonic tracking in Hiroshima Bay shows that male and female black sea bream move differently during the spawning season, offering a novel discovery into the reproductive behavior of a broadcast-spawning sparid fish in ...
Phys.org / Bee magnetism appears far more widespread than expected across 120 species
As married research professors at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Dustin Gilbert and Anne Murray often discuss their work once they get home each night. Their fields of study rarely crossover. That changed six years ...
Phys.org / Rice plants observed trapping and killing fall armyworm caterpillars
Rice plants and Venus flytraps share something in common that was not scientifically documented until recently. Using a faint smell to lure caterpillars into a trap, rice plants killed early-stage fall armyworm larvae by ...
